A leader of fashion gets it at the gym, perhaps (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the gym perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a leader of fashion gets it' is the wordplay.
'a leader of' suggests taking the first letters.
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
The initial letter of 'fashion' is 'f'.
'f'+'it'='FIT'

'at' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for fit that I've seen before include "Of a suitable standard" , "Suitable; sudden attack" , "Adequate" , "Appropriate kind of convulsion" , "Be the right size or shape" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
